[QUOTE="tec548, post: 1219863, member: 11820"] The "pop" you describe is the axle binding. With the OEM shafts you are usually okay, but with the RCV it often times breaks the inner bearings. This is because the RCV is so much stronger (and stiffer). Easy way to check is remove the center cap that covers the 13mm stub shaft nut and look for metal shavings, looseness ang grease leakage. Also grab the stub shaft at the outer boot and try to move it. If it moves, replace imeadately. Even 2wd will continue to damage the stub shafts and IWE. You can also drive near a fence and listen for a jingle or scraping sound, but if you hear this you have a lot of parts to replace brother. Joel [/QUOTE]
